The scale provides over 40 body metrics including weight, body fat %, visceral fat, skeletal muscle, lean mass, bone mass, body water %, metabolic age, BMR, and segmental muscle and fat breakdowns.

Yes. The handles provide upper-body electrical paths needed for advanced segmental measurements such as torso, arms, chest, and visceral fat calculations.

Yes, for most users. The scale uses low-level electrical signals (BIA), which are safe for healthy individuals.

It is safe to track weight, but body composition readings (BIA) may be inaccurate due to fluid changes. Use weight-only mode if your clinician advises it.

Users with implanted electronic medical devices should consult a healthcare professional before using any BIA device.

Yes, children can track weight, but body composition analysis may not be accurate for individuals under 18 due to natural growth variability.

Yes. Multiple people can share a HumePod as long as each person has their own Hume Health account. Only one phone can pair via Bluetooth at a time.

In the app: go to your profile, Settings, Units and select kg/lbs.

Go to Settings, General, Language and select your preferred language. Video audio remains English

The free version includes weigh-ins, viewing all body measurements, basic trends, and profile management.

Hume Plus includes advanced insights, weekly health reports, deeper metric explanations, personalised targets, and routine-based coaching.

The Health Score summarises your daily and long-term health inputs, giving a simple number reflecting wellness trends.

Range shows the target healthy window for each metric so you can see whether your values fall above, below, or within ideal ranges.

For consistency, weigh in first thing in the morning, before eating, ideally after using the bathroom and drinking a glass of water.

Before workouts provides more consistent data. Exercise affects hydration and body water distribution, temporarily altering readings.

Yes. Stand upright, keep elbows away from your torso, hold handles with bare hands, and maintain full foot contact with electrode plates.

Segmental analysis isolates limbs and trunk. Differences may reflect training imbalance, hydration shifts, or dominant-side muscularity.

Hydration, food intake, alcohol, stress, exercise, and time of day influence readings. Consistent timing and posture help reduce variability.

High-intensity workouts temporarily alter hydration and muscle glycogen levels, which can shift your readings. Trends over weeks matter more than daily results.

Restart your phone, ensure Bluetooth is enabled, force-close and reopen the app, or reset the scale. Try reconnecting from the app's device settings.

This may occur if your feet or hands aren't fully contacting electrodes, if posture is inconsistent, or if Bluetooth disconnects mid-test.

The scale uses bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA), which requires skin contact with the electrodes to measure body composition accurately.

Body composition changes with hydration, food intake, salt levels, sleep, stress, exercise, and time of day. Consistency in timing helps reduce variability.

It uses the included charging cable (typically USB-C). Ensure you use a compatible charger.
